- - - - "however, as of 2014, 11% of all births are from teenage girls from 15 to 19 years of age."
        
        "While many women become pregnant by choice, most teenage pregnancies are unplanned. In addition, teens may not notice the symptoms of pregnancy, which can delay important prenatal care and have negative consequences for both the mother and unborn child."
        
        "Many teen mothers give birth to low–birth weight (LBW) babies."
        
        "High blood pressure, also called pregnancy-induced hypertension, is a serious symptom of pregnancy, and it is very common in pregnant teens. In addition, pregnant teens are more at risk of developing preeclampsia, a condition that causes high blood pressure, excess protein in the urine, swelling of the faces and hands, and organ damage. These conditions usually can be controlled, and sometimes medications may need to be taken. However, such medications can lead to complications for both the mother and unborn child."
        
        "Many teens do not know they are pregnant right away or they wait to tell their parents, which delays prenatal care. Prenatal care includes taking vitamins with folic acid, which can help prevent birth defects; getting certain screens for medical issues in the mother and unborn baby; and monitoring the baby's growth and development.
        
        "To help alleviate these concerns, parents should educate their children about sexual intercourse, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted infections. They should also educate their children about contraception. Parents of teenage mothers and putative (presumptive) fathers should try to best support their children during this difficult time. They should establish plans for the teens that include education, employment, and financial arrangements, living situations, child care, and more. Parents of both the mother and father should also determine how involved they wish to be with the pregnancy and child after birth. Presumptive fathers may request a deoxyribonucleic acid test, commonly called a DNA test, after the birth before assuming legal responsibility for the child. Parents of emotionally immature teenagers may wish to encourage alternatives such as adoption, in the best interests of the child."

        "To help counter these problems, the WHO, in association with the United Nations Population Fund, has developed recommendations to help countries most in need. These are (as quoted from the WHO website “Adolescent Pregnancy”): reducing marriage before the age of 18
        creating understanding and support to reduce pregnancy before the age of 20
        increasing the use of contraception by adolescents at risk of unintended pregnancy
        increasing the use of contraception by adolescents at risk of unintended pregnancy
        reducing unsafe abortion among adolescents
        increasing use of skilled antenatal, childbirth and postnatal care among adolescents
    - - "The WHO report that babies born to teenage mothers are at increased risk of dying when compared to babies born to more mature mothers, those from 20 to 24 years old"
        
        "Life is not easy for teenage mothers. Their education is often cut short, resulting in no or low qualifications and fewer opportunities later in life. They often live in substandard housing, and some live on welfare if their country provides such assistance."
      - "Moreover, complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the second highest cause of death for 15–to–19 year old pregnant girls. "
        
        "This fact is complicated by the fact that about three million of these girls have unsafe abortions, many of which result in injury and/or death."
        
        "Most of these young females reside in low- and middle-income countries. Countries in sub-Saharan Africa have some of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in the world. World Health Statistics report that the average birth rate throughout the world is 49 per 1,000 girls between 15 and 19 years; however, rates in sub-Sharan Africa range from one to 299 births per 1,000 girls."
